Chapter1
"Liliana." My mum is the downside to my life.
"Liliana." I'm sure all mums do it. You know. Where they call you. And call you. But you ignore until you get to breaking point and just have to go downstairs? Well Liliana was NOT going to give in today.
"Yes ma?" Liliana shouted down the stairs. The whole house was silent until…
"Liliana, come downstairs would you darling?"
"Can't you just tell me what you want?" Liliana shouted back.
… "No."
Ugh, unbelievable. Liliana walked back into her room, got a bobble and walked over to her mirror. It was a nice mirror, and when she got her Hogwarts letter she decided she was going to take it with her.

It was now the first of September and time to go downstairs.
"Yes mother dearest?" she asked in a sugar sweet voice.
"Breakfast Lily." Her mother said mimicking Liliana's tone.
"Its Liliana mother, you know I don't like being called Lily!" She complained. Her and her parents went to Diagon Alley, 1 week after they got the letter and got all of her equipment and even though it was another month before she was going to leave she packed as soon as she got home only to keep unpacking and reading her books, then re-packing, but finally the day had come for Liliana to go to Hogwarts. She had packed her trunk properly the night before only to get no sleep.
"Oh, really?" She said giving Liliana a pancake, not really listening.
They left half and hour later with Liliana's hair tied back with a black bobble, wearing black skinny jeans and a plain black v-neck, she looked very cat-woman-y also with her usual eye liner with the flick and black sunglasses even though it wasn't that sunny, she didn't like to stand out much. Some would say she was fashionable, some would say she was a freak, but they were the… jealous ones, you could say, jealous of what you may ask, well maybe Liliana's curvy but skinny figure, model's face and beautiful hair, only naming a few. But she had grown not to be arrogant with kids teasing her constantly; all the questions were answered when she got her Hogwarts letter.
"Come on Li-li! The train will be going soon!" Her dad said pushing her towards the door of the train, her bag dragging behind him.
"I'll see you at Christmas ok?" Liliana asked tears pricking her eyes. This was the first night she had had without her parents, if you have no friends you don't normally go to sleepovers.
"Don't cry, Li-li, or you'll start me off!" Her mum said dramatically.
"Ok, bye," She whispered quietly, trying to hide her breaking voice. She walked on the train and looked for a compartment. God. Her parents were lying. She was 10 minutes early. At least she found a compartment easily though.
Not 2 minutes later a group of about 10 people walked in. Liliana looked up in surprise as the girl at the front suddenly stopped and stared.
"Whatareyoudoing Mol- oh, but this is our compartment." A young, obviously shy boy said, blushing when Liliana looked at him, her outlined eyes extremely intimidating yet innocent at the same time. It was obvious she had a fiery temper.
"Oh I'm sorry. Ill just leave." Liliana said blushing furiously as 10 people watched her pack away her books with curious eyes until…
"No, no stay! The train will be leaving soon and all the compartments will be full no need to move now. Hello, my name is Molly Wesley. What's yours?" she said in a slightly patronizing voice.
"Urm…uh." Liliana said squirming under their stares. "Urm-."
"Forgotten or something?" an obviously arrogant boy said.
"Shut up, James." Molly said glaring at him. She put on her nice smile and turned back to the blushing Liliana.
"It's er… Liliana Mayfair." She said with a shy smile to the group. The first boy came forward.
"Albus Potter. Nice to meet you." He said.
"What year are you in? You don't look 11. Oh, and James Potter." He said with a mocking bow.
"Nine. I mean third." She said correcting herself.
"I've never seen you and what did you mean nine?" James said but was cut off by Molly.
"Please sit back down! Do you want some chocolate?" she asked looking into her bag. Liliana mumbled in protest but it went unnoticed as the rest of the group filed in and introducing themselves as obviously Molly, James, Albus, and then, Roxanne, Fred, Louis, Rose, Victore and Dominique. Molly proceeded to shove a box that said… wait a second…
"Frog?" Liliana said her voice filled with horror. The group said nothing and just looked at her trying to figure her out when Molly shouted out:
"Oh of course, she's muggle-born aren't you!" the whole group muttered 'oh yeahs' and 'of courses'.
"Muggle what now? Is that an insult because that's just… that's just mean!" Liliana asked the group of people trying to suppress giggles.
"Go on fine laugh! I knew it would be like this! I totally clueless like a blind man or something walking around on the top of a mountain. It will hurt when I fall. I don't need anything else broken I think my eyes are enough thank you! So just like get a helicopter and save me from this… er… from the mountain?" she finished off as more of a question as she realised she just climbed higher up her metaphorical mountain and fell into a ditch. She really should stop with the rambling; it is not a good first impression.
"No its not it is it?" James said.
"Did I… did I just that all out loud?" she asked.
"Yes… but it doesn't matter. Eat." Molly demanded. She opened the packet and screeched as a frog jumped out and out of the window. Liliana dropped the packet on the floor and scooted over to the window with wide eyes.
"Thank you? Urm I need sleep." She said closing her eyes. As soon as she did they all broke out whispering.
"She's weird!" said James voice.
"No she is not. I have a great feeling we will be friends." Molly said the smile obvious in her voice.
"Thank you. Back at home I was a… loner? I suppose I didn't need to tell you that but oh well. It was because of my magic. People thought I was weird. I'm not crazy though. I don't talk to myself or anything. I used to get bullied quite a lot. I hope you lot don't bully me. I've had enough of that, it really is quite boring." She smiled at the strangers, tiredness sweeping over her. Liliana closed her eyes and fell straight to sleep but not before she heard more whispering break out over the group.
"See? Weird." She heard James whisper.
-
A couple of hours later she felt herself being woken up.
"Come on Liliana! You need to change!" Molly's bright smile greeted her as she slowly woke up.
"What time is it?" she grunted. Molly just laughed.
"About 10 minutes before well be there."
"Ok." She stood up, bumped into James and fell back on the chair.
"Hmm. Gryffindor. The brave one right?" she asked him. A look of disbelief crossed his face.
"Yes… what do you want to be sorted into?" He asked slowly.
"I don't really mind. Not Slytherin. Or Hufflepuff they seem like daises. Or Ravenclaw, bit swotty. So Gryffindor. Is everyone there?" she asked looking up at his big chocolate eyes and black hair that was getting in his eyes. Like hers!
"Everyone in this compartment. So far. Albus and Rose need to get sorted like you."
"Your hair is like mine. Did you know that? My fringe is too long and gets in my way and it's black like yours. But you're a boy so you wouldn't call it a fringe. But you know what I mean." She said smiling.
"I suppose. Shouldn't you get dressed?" he asked. She stood up again knocking into him but knocking him down instead.
"Sorry." She said while reaching up to get her trunk down. She felt a presence behind her and a heavenly smell. It was James.
"Here let me help you." He said reaching up. He was a good inch taller than her so it was easier for him. She could feel him pressed up against her back. God he was musclely for a 13 year old. Liliana was 13 too but she was mature for her age; and he was as sexy as hell. James got her trunk down and passed it too her with a smile. She smiled back and rummaged through it forgetting the bras and knickers her mum insisted on buying her saying she was now a grown woman and needed grown women underwear. Ahmemories… Liliana thought. It was only her and James in the compartment, the rest went to get changed in the toilets down the corridor. She rifled through her bag, bringing all the neatly packed underwear up from the bottom and in full view for all the sexy men in the compartment. Liliana didn't realise until…
"Nice panties Li-Li." James said smirking. BecoolLiliana.Becool!She thought. She could feel her confidence growing, something it hadn't done for a while.
"Thanks James. You wouldn't have extensive knowledge on the subject though would you? Except your mothers, I hope you haven't been rifling through her draws for something to wank to. And don't call me Li-Li, that what my mum and dad call me." Liliana replied coolly.
"Hilarious Lily. Want to help me broaden my knowledge on the subject?" James replied with a wink.
"Don't call me Lily either. And in your wet dreams." She replied with a wink back.
"Ooooh… feisty. Y'know, my grandpa James liked someone called Lily but she didn't like him… but she fell for the Potter charm, they all do." Another wink "Apparently, then they went out and got married and had there son Harry. Does that remind you of something…? Lily?" James replied slyly.
"Oh… James are you saying you have a crush on me? When did they get together?"
"Seventh year, why? Want to speed up the process this time round? Took my dad one year less."
"Like I said… in your wet dreams James. And you'd still have to wait 2 years by the sound of it. And if you're really that desperate for me, you'll have to think up some very unusual ways to ask… my personality is quite… kooky you could say. Something to think about. Bye James." She replied in a sly voice, leaning forwards, closer towards him, then at the last second before there lips would meet she pulled back and walked towards the door but not before turning around and giving the smirking James a wink and a small wave.
She got changed into her uniform putting her own twist on it, skirt shorter than regulations, a little higher than half way up, tie on loosely, long socks up to her knees, her shirt was fitted, robes were open showing her uniform and her prized possession: her necklace it was a simple, thin silver chain with a metal, pastel pink apple that was the size of a thumb nail, and the stalk and leaf were gold. She got it for her last birthday and hadn't taken it off once except baths and showers. When she walked back into the compartment everyone was back. Molly smiled at Liliana and was taken aback when Liliana smiled back brightly before entering the compartment and sitting next to her.
"Want another frog?" Molly asked warily.
"Sure. I'll make sure I catch it this time." She said smiling. Molly offered her the frog and Liliana opened it carefully, caught it and stuffed it in her mouth unceremoniously to the disgust of Dominique. She pulled out the card.
"What's this?" she asked. Seeing a picture of the famous Hermione Granger shed once seen in a book.
ForaidingHarryPotterandRonWeasleyintheirattempttodestroytheHorcruxesandthesubsequentdefeatofVoldemort.Also,foreradicatingpro-purebloodlawsattheMinistryofMagicandcampaigningfortherightsofnon-humanbeingssuchashouse-elves.
It said.
"Chocolate frog card. You collect them." Albus said.
"So… like Pokémon?" Liliana asked. "Pokémon? No? Oh well I hate it anyway." Liliana mused. She looked at the picture again.
"She's very pretty isn't she?" Liliana asked the group.
"She's my mam," Hugo said smiling. "I'll tell her you said that, and then she'll favour you."
"Go for it!" Liliana replied enthusiastically. The train then boarded and Liliana hauled her trunk off the top compartment before:
"I've got it Lily." He said with a big emphasis on the Lily that didn't get missed by Albus who gave Liliana a look of humour. Liliana just shrugged and smiled at him.
"I have to travel with the first years today. Professor Longbottom said about the experience that every first year apparently experiences so… yeah. Sorry guys." Liliana said with regret, mostly pointed at Molly and James.
"You can go with me and Albus!" Rose said excitedly. "I'm not sure who the 4th person will be though." It turned out to be Scorpius Malfoy, much to the displeasure of Rose and Albus. Liliana didn't know why. She liked him, he was polite and nice and he was the one that helped her steady herself when she almost fell into the lake. Liliana was terrified after that. She grabbed onto Albus and Roses arms and thankfully they didn't pull away.
"Experience my arse." "Silly man." "Probably over reacting." Liliana continued to grumble to herself.
-
They got to the entrance and Liliana fluffed up her hair and sorted out her wind-swept fringe. Most of the first year boys and other boys passing, including James, were staring at her when she started to put on more eyeliner. She pretended not to realise but when she put it away and they were still staring she glared at them all and they all turned around.
"Liliana Mayfair?" Longbottom asked.
"Yeah?" she asked walking towards him.
"You will come to my office after the sorting. For the moment sit at any table you want. Go on in." he said gesturing towards the door. She pushed the door and every eye in the hall fell upon her.
"Hey! Lily, over here!" James shouted.
"It's Liliana, James, how many times?" she said as she sat down. He just laughed at her.
"Well now for my prediction to come right, well, you know why I have to call you that." He said with a wink. Liliana swore she saw a girl in Ravenclaw faint.
"Pathetic." She grumbled.
"Jealous?" James asked.
"Of what? Pathetic girls fainting when you move your facial muscles." She asked.
"Yeah." He said still smirking. She flicked his nose and the smirk flew away.
"Psh. You should stop smirking so much. You'll get wrinkles. And then what will you do?" She whispered dramatically. James was about to reply but the opening of the great hall doors silenced him.
